APPLESASS

Description

This is the second Live recording of the AppleJazz Band. (See Acid Dixie). Charlie Bertini’s soaring trumpet leads these Upstate New York musicians through a variety of traditional jazz and Dixieland tunes, performed in the unique AppleJazz funky style. This band’s music has been self-described as “Acid Dixie”. World-renowned tubaist Dave Gannett plays some truly unbelievable solos, and vocalist Joe Whiting and guitarist Dave Feinstein join forces on a steamy blues to make this as versatile a concert as you will ever hear.
